Chaotic footage of a volley of artillery fire on the AFU, the soldier in-front was instantly pulverised by the explosion, and the man behind suffered large shrapnel wounds. This is presumably from a BM-21 Grad.

"The era of confrontation": the main theses of Dmitry Medvedev's article in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta

The years 2022-2023 will go down in history as the time of the most powerful civilizational break, the peak of the existential crisis of humanity in the 21st century;

“The world is in a confrontation much worse than during the Caribbean crisis because our opponents decided to defeat the largest nuclear power - Russia. They are, no doubt, down-and-out jerks, but that's just the way it is. And the second reason is quite prosaic - nuclear weapons have already been used, and it is known by whom and where, which means that there is no taboo!

Russia could temporarily suspend diplomatic relations with Finland, Poland, the Baltic countries, and Great Britain;

The grain deal in its current form is not needed and must be terminated;

The Kiev regime must be annihilated and legally banned in civilized Europe as a fascist one;

Russia will achieve its goal and eliminate the threat of Ukraine's membership in NATO;

The results of the confrontation between Russia and the West will need to be fixed in a new document like the Helsinki Act of 1975, while the UN did not justify itself.

It's good to have priorities straight. Pure politics. Don't help the opposition. If my car was burned, I would demand compensation from the government. True, I would get nothing, but they would have one less vote.

Meanwhile, heavy military equipment took to the streets in Switzerland.

Footage from the Zurich night confirms the authorities' concerns about the transfer of French unrest to Switzerland, where there are no fewer migrants than in an ordinary EU country.

Scholz explained that Crimea belongs to Ukraine because Russia was the first to leave the USSR: Crimea has long belonged to Ukraine. We must not forget that already during the Soviet Union, Ukraine was an independent state with UN membership. And by the way, Russia was the first to leave the Soviet Union, not Ukraine. And Crimea has always belonged to Ukraine.

Павел Владимирович:

Olaf Scholz, the bootlicking halfwit that he is, continues to tell half-truths to prove irrelevant points. Notice here especially how he tries to have it both ways. Mr. Scholz, I thought you were all in favour of democracy and freedom, so why then are you telling Crimeans, who overwhelmingly voted to join Russia, that they are a part of Ukraine? Any brief history study that isn’t written on howtobenatohack.org will show the flimsiness of Scholz’s historic claims. The Crimean territory was transferred to Ukrainian Socialist Republic in 1954, while it was still directly a USSR territory. Ukraine became an independent country in 1991, so I guess Crimea can be called “Ukrainian” since 32 years ago. Scholz calling 32 years “always Ukrainian” shows the short-sightedness of Western politicians, who, even if they believe the toxic garbage spewed out of their mouths, cannot see 5 years ahead or back. When Crimea was taken by the Russian Empire in 1783 it was taken from the Crimean Khanate, not Ukraine, because Ukraine didn’t exist.

Also, how’s Danzig looking?

“Europe is a blooming garden. The rest of the world is a jungle," said the head of Eurodiplomacy Borrell

True, even then he mentioned that " the jungle can capture this garden ."

🇷🇺 🇪🇺 The West seeks to restore relations with Russia, despite all the obligations to Kiev. This was stated by a member of the European Parliament (EP) and former Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski.

🇺🇦“We are witnessing the process of convincing Ukraine of the need to freeze the conflict. It is assumed that it is necessary to repeat the situation of 2015, and then conclude an agreement with Russia, ” said Waszczykowski, whose words are quoted by the Energetyka24 website.

👍The MP is sure that the West needs to cooperate with Russia. In particular, Germany is interested in good relations with Moscow. Contrary to all the promises of Western politicians, the principle “business is business” will come to the fore in relations with Russia, Waszczykowski stressed.

🇺🇸Earlier, the United States called on Ukraine to leave Donbass alone. The population of Donbass wants to continue to stay with Russia, so Ukraine is trying in vain to take the territories under its control by military means, said American journalist Natalie Morris.

At night, the AFU gets slapped in Ugledar. Russian artillery worked on them.

AFU decided to transfer reserves in the dark, but he forgot that our military sees everything. As soon as the enemy concentrated his forces and means in one place, he was hit by our MLRS.

Lol. My money is in your bank. Close the account, tell some very unpleasant words to the manager, and go somewhere else. Why does he need to complain?

July 5, 2023, marks exactly 80 years since the beginning of the Battle of Kursk.

It was during it that the Nazi army first used the Panther tanks (because of the expectation of their deliveries, the timing of the offensive of the German troops was constantly postponed), which were involved in the largest tank battle in world history - near Prokhorovka (photo from there).

But the main significance of the Kursk Bulge is that the defeat of the Germans in it became a radical turning point in the Second World War.

However, other battles besides the Kursk Bulge were nominated for this role by historians - both Stalingrad and El Alamein, and the landing of the allies in Normandy.

El Alamein clearly does not win the nomination: the battles in Africa during the war were not considered the main ones either in Berlin, or in Moscow, or Washington with London, and the Egyptian battle in the autumn of 1942 did not affect the main, European, front of the war in any way.

The landing of the allies in Normandy also disappears - by the summer of 1944, the initiative on all fronts belonged to the anti-Hitler coalition, and the question was only about the timing of the end of the war.

Of the two remaining options, the Battle of Stalingrad is much more often considered a radical turning point, and this can be considered the correct answer, but only half: the battle on the Volga was the moment of a political turning point in the war - it was after it that it became clear that Germany could not win. But there is a significant difference between "not winning" and "losing".

This is the difference between the consequences of Stalingrad and the Kursk salient. It was the latter that became militarily a turning point for the entire course of the Second World War. After it, the Germans lost the initiative, went on the defensive, and were able to carry out only one major offensive operation - in the winter of 1944-45 in the Ardennes on the Western Front - but it had to be stopped because of the Red Army's offensive on the Eastern Front.

👆👆👆
Remember this picture if you ever read about the battle of Prokhorovka in English Wikipedia where nazi fun boys wrote that Germans lost only 6 tanks.

"Russia carried out a grandiose special operation in Europe in the noughties, tens and twenties. Through its channels, it moved hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants into Europe to wreak havoc there. It was a Russian special operation, it was a time bomb under European democracy": Gordon explained the reasons for the unrest in France

Note: these people always blame the Russians for everything

Via CyberspecNews:

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦In the Orekhov-Rabotino sector (Zaporizhie Front), the AFU once again launched an attack north of Rabotino: they were able to penetrate the vanguard defense line by about 300 meters,

A change of tactics was used:

Instead rushing columns across the fields, they sent mainly infantry into the forest lines, one of which leads directly to Rabotino.

After regrouping, Russian detachments launched a counterattack and recaptured a lot of the lost positions...some accounts mention about 150m

Dmitry Medvedev:

I will note one thing that politicians of all stripes do not like to admit: a nuclear Apocalypse is not only possible, but also quite likely. Why?
There are at least two reasons.

First. The world is in a much worse confrontation than during the Cuban crisis, because our opponents decided to really defeat the largest nuclear power - Russia. They are, without a doubt, complete jerks, but that's exactly it.

And the second reason is quite prosaic - nuclear weapons have already been used by someone somewhere, which means there is no taboo!

From the article "The Era of Confrontation". Rossiyskaya Gazeta. July 3, 2023

❗️ More than 50 attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Lugansk tactical direction were repelled by Russian soldiers over the past week

Andriy Marochko, a military expert, said with reference to his own sources.
